The 80's was such a memorable and nostalgic era because I was a child then. Such good songs and talent back then.

[MrNeka69]

miss u...

[tfed1219]

can never understand the lyrics, but with that hair and high panting who needs words?

[JollyMunkie]

Song was never about girls showing their bits (that was the producers call). It's about boys getting kicked out of home at a young age. Boys that doing what they need to survive. No one wants these kid. They get caught up on stuff (speed, heroin), then you can't get them back. I lost a friend. His choice. I'm still sad. I know now that he felt he had no where to go with his life, but getting shuttling on trains back an forth. I can't tell you how much I miss him

[jlsrhodes]

Pandaeyes42, cant understand English? We can understand this song. Want the lyrics?

[orpho71]

Would anyone possibly know the name of the dark haird lady in that video ,,, besides delicious ..... sorry 2 dark haired ladies one in gold and the other in blk... YEAYAEHHHHHHA

[Yoursoplain]

Seen him live many years ago at a Sunday session,Bloody Brilliant!

[ollyfun]

Well done.great songwriter,singer and guitarist.

[juzz27]

one persons motor wasnt running to fast

[mofosixxxx]

@ 0:26 srsly sounds like nunchucka things are never quiet as they seem

[allboutsoul]

James Reyne is such a brilliant and often underrated artist. Stunning video, stunning song.

[spoddog1]

@allboutsoul hit the truth there brother, amen.

[pissandwind]

NZOZ dealing up more Aussie classics!

[pandaeyes42]

English, James, English!!!

Instead of the Enigma code during WWII, they should have used Reynesie instead! The enemy wouldn't have known what the hell we were saying!!!

[MrTevB]

I can never understand James' singing..BUT he sounds SOO good! & this is no exception!...great song...great video...it looks so Australian...miss the 1980's..

[JustaSadd]

This is one of the sexiest music videos EVAHHHH

[fionajamesau]

sexy james reyne...i was 15 when this came out

[minaimmortal]

Question? .. does anyone know exactly what this song is about? ..

[kenyancheena]

@minaimmortal

My loose interpretation of it is that it's about a guy who is restless, bored and unhappy with his life.

[shootrmgavin]

@minaimmortal

motors running fast?

[maoriguitarman]

awesome song ..this guy is real versatile with his voice LOL HE COULD PROBABLY even sing METALLICA

[llR3YN3ll]

My name is Reyne :) named after this guy

[kenyancheena]

Fanastic song which, like most of the stuff from '88 and '89, sounds like it belongs in the '90s. Looking back I remember thinking how much music was changing around that time. The video is very classy and the women in it are so HOTT.

[Justaboutme2]

Oh how I love this song, thanks for this great stuff xx

[TheAussiefisher]

going to his concert in geraldton australia on my birthday

[THEFUTURE975]

Yeah, and when she`s feneshed, she can eat all your feesh and cheps cobba!!

[nerdflanders8710]

that chicks hot until she talks "Fefty bucks and I'll suck yer deck"

[islehot]

A time before fake titties.Strange,but I like it.

[muscleoffigus]

@islehot you kidding me? there were fake titties everywhere in the 80's

[pandaeyes42]

English, James, English!

[MarQu3]

James Reyne is the bomb!

[shmuli9]

Yoiks! I was 21 when this came out. I had the 45...

[valkyriewings33]

nzoz thanks for putting this up. Forgot all about this one, was 13 when it came out. :)

[valkyriewings33]

nzoz does it again! I totally forgot this song, was 13 when it came out. Thanks :)

[mattcb73]

another cracker nzoz!

[goblinking169]

whos the girl running with the suitcase? hot

[ozphil]

@goblinking169 she is a former James Bond girl, her name is Lupe Lamora.

[ozphil]

@goblinking169 ooops I gave you her Bond name, she is married to Benjamin Pratt, and her correct non Bond name is Talisa Soto.

[mixolydian92]

this song reminds me of pvt.keough from fordy,hey bro if your out there.

[msynman]

Did Oz Crawl/James Reyne have much overseas success or were they only big here?

[phoenicia7]

Wow ! James Reyne from "Return to Eden" :))

He sings well.

[EddieAlda]

Love this song, also love James. He was a very cute man in his day.

[zenmoon3]

The girl in this clip is smokin' hot.

[msynman]

@zenmoon3 Which one?!

[zenmoon3]

@msynman the one at 13 seconds : )

[malice1488]

it was obvious right from the start that this was set in the USA.

[malice1488]

i reckon its about drinking.

[ke20nut]

awesome singer, i grew up listening to this while all the other dead shits at school were into motley crew. classic aussie 5 stars

[Deeppack]

In my opinion, one of Australia's most underrated Singer/songwriters and performers...

... love him!

[tantigermoon]

Totally love James Reyne since i was 13 now im 36 and i still love him and Australian Crawl. :)

[tantigermoon]

Totally love James Reyne since i was 13 now im 36 and i still love him and Australian Crawl. :)

[Davez621]

1:57 The part where she's running in the train yard is obviously the US and not Australia. You can clearly see a 1980s Chevy pickup truck in the background.

[nushtakoush]

@Davez621 one diesel has "SP" on the front , for southern pacific' a real giveaway. also theres a chev sedan when shes first running. also Oz never had that many diesels in one place at one time in a flat area.

[pandaeyes42]

English, James, English !!!

[kiwichopz]

why is music not like tis these days its sad thank god for the eighties is all i can say it is just the best music ere i believe anyone agree?

[SgtKendick]

HA im a 16 year old and i walk around listening to James Reyne, Jimmy Barnes, Diesel and Bit of Billy Joel on my Ipod. its the only music for me

[Hobbsy75]

It doesn't take long for this song to remind you how sublime the 80's were.

[toufovou]

download link anybody????

[toufovou]

Been looking for this song for years and years. First heard it when i lived in Oz in 1988! After years of looking for it i finally found it thanks to some cool dude that replied on yahoo answers!!! I sure wish i was 11 again!!!!

[kiwilanger]

omg she sure is a spunk

[68kira]

i am an aussie child of the 80's and enjoy when the radio at work plays a bit of Aussie Crawl.. but after listening to this and Fall of Rome and Hammerhead i forgot how much i enjoyed this album.. had in on cassette in the car back then... cheers for the post.

[marauder908]

The featured girl in this video(the one runnin` with the briefcase) is none other than Talisa Soto , the future Ms. Benjamin Bratt (A&E`s The Cleaner)

[MaZEEZaM]

@marauder908 do you know if the video in this clip is from a movie? which movie if it is? Thanks

[marauder908]

No, the video was specifically made to try to follow the lyrics to the song,it must have been a fairly expensive video as well!

[gxd4b1]

She is so fu ..... gorgeous (Talisa).

You did well Mr Bratt!

[shootrmgavin]

wicked song, I was only 6 when this came out but can still remember it!

[carpetcle]

HDD

[gxd4b1]

Name one other song writer who managed to fit the word 'nunchucka' into their song? Says it all about the musical genius at work here LOL.

[goblinking169]

not as genius as 3:13, now that's genius

[bruchesco]

@gxd4b1 nunchuka..good observation man. I would never have picked it up if you hadn't pointed that out. Would be a great question at a trivia night..cheers.

[memoir4you]

cool tune,very catchy; the girl in the black dress is I think,Talisa Soto,who went on to appear asa Bond girl a year later in Licence to Kill..

[Hobbsy75]

This song is a cracker. Beautiful video too

[fionajamesau]

teganstarr yeah i love being aussie too we can get away with cult classics like working class man and wake up the next day in tne back of someones ute with a bottle of bundy ha ha fuk i wish i was a teenager again i grew up at mt panaroma love tha 80s(wot i can remember from all that passion pop stones green gingrt wine

[goblinking169]

i really enjoy pausing this clip right on 3.13. try it.. it great

[goblinking169]

god dam that chicks hot

[Lachiepops]

Cripes! Some BEAUTIFUL women in this video! And I mean YOUNG as they can get!!

[gxd4b1]

Is that Georgie Parker at the start of the video?

God she was so fit then ........ not so much now.

(do you guys say 'fit' back in Australia ......... Ive been over here in England for nearly 10 years now so Ive forgotten all the terms we used to use).

[Lachiepops]

No we don't say "fit" here. It only means athletic to us. Very Pommy term.

[gxd4b1]

cheers Lachiepops. Yeah Im sure I never used that term, but wasnt sure if it had crept into the venacular while I was away.

At least now any of my fellow Aussies reading this will know that the poms describe an attractive girl as 'fit' lol!

[carpetcle]

If that's not Georgie by cripes it must be her blood and blister....!!! or her twin...streuth mate...!!!!

[gxd4b1]

Anyone who can put nunchuka into a song is a lyrical genius!

[tantigermoon]

@gxd4b1 i agree lol

[cheekygirl1972]

awesome song, the 80s were the best times for music.

[FaithnSin]

I will always maintain the Chantoozies version of this was a million times better. More heart.

[sligo1978]

I like 80's specially this music - James Reyne is good singer and good actor to. i like " Return Of Eden " thank you fans around the world

Jerick: Caracas/ Venezuela

[teganstarr]

I love being Australian. The music's the fucking shit mate.

[Geovaneazevedo]

Grande musica !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[highwaytohe11]

LOL at 2:36 the left hook to the bag...

Love this guy, true AUSSIE artist

[nerdflanders8710]

Does anyone know what song it is where he talks aboout someone and he says they have ahd quote "too many fucks"

[nzoz1988]

i dunno that song... i thought I heard him say 'too many fucks' in most of his songs.

[Steffhy]

I love this song, she's great and James Reyne too!

[idriveabucket]

ahhhh gotta love the eighties, they actually sang back then

[askinner621]

Aussie music best in the world

[GREY7575]

one of the great aussie songs sung by a great great singer

[KRW1612]

Australian music through the 60's and beyond became very indigenous in its sound. As great as the body of music is, only Australians and prehaps New Zealanders appreciate the creativity, originality and uniqueness of this music. When we turned a little more mainstream we became famous....Bee Gees....Little River Band.....Air Supply.....etc

[gomeroimurri]

i love james reyne t u

[BagualdeTorres]

this guy looks like Bryan Adams....hehehe

[NEWmobileworld]

Love this song.

[Estra1974]

This is one of my favourite James Reyne songs. It's is so awesome.

[RaeBurton]

How hot is old Jamesee in this clip...

[Damian1975]

Great song..i remember this when it came out we were on holidays in Queensland with the family.

Great memories and great times..thanks for posting

[thewealthofknowledge]

That's Bond girl Talisa Soto! I was actually talking about her last week and know here she is in a James Reyne video!

[zinger52]

what a wonderful world we live in deja vu everywhere lol
